Breather line question

Hi,

I just removed the supercharger from my 2003 R53. I was taking off the large plastic tube that connects to the back side of the blower and trying to disconnect the two breather lines. I was afraid I snapped the small grey breather tube:



Possibly snapped grey breather tube

After I got the supercharger fully off the car I think I might have just pulled it out of a rubber tube.

Grey tube fits in this rubber tube?
Is this where it fits?

Thanks,
Eric

From: Under the car. As per normal.
Believe one of those goes to the brake booster, the other to the manifold air pressure sensor:

I think that hose is a patch job. I broke my MAP tube last year closer to the sensor and bought a whole new tube. It is one piece from the sensor to the supercharger inlet pipe.

But if that hose works, then it works.
